The epitome of a Kiwi summer: Sun, wine, and beats courtesy of Kings, Nico & Vinz, P-Money and Six60.

On Saturday, as the sun was beating down and the wine was flowing; the beats were provided by an outstanding line-up of artists. The ten thousand sold-out crowd were treated to a line-up of worthy of a festival.

To begin the night, Kings, graced the stage. He set the bar high, performing tracks from his debut album, Chapter One, including Domino, We’ll never Know and his chart topping single Don’t Worry Bout It. The crowd were truly warmed up.

Next to take stage were Nico & Vinz. Bouncing and shaking across the stage, their enigmatic performance got the crowd, to part ways with their cheese platters and move to their choreographed dances. Hyping up the punters, they performed, their catalogue of chart topping singles including, That’s How You Know, When the Day Comes and ended their set with Am I Wrong, leaving us all wanting more.

Keeping the beats going and getting us just that much more hyped; P-Money took the crowd on a musical journey playing a selection of hip-hop, dance and Kiwi classic tracks.

With the sun finally setting, the warm summer air cooling, and twilight glowing, it was time for Six60’s homecoming. Eli, Chris, Ji, Marlon and Matiu glowed as they made their way to the front of the stage. Every single member of the audience were on their feet during the hour long set. Six60 performed classics including Don’t Forget Your Roots and RIse Up and an encore performance of Don’t Give It Up from their latest EP Six60. Their incredible performance also included Eli and Chris’ signature drum off.

If I was ever asked what a Kiwi summer feels like, The New Waves World Tour at Villa Maria Winery would be a classic example.
